Irish woman, described Burke's entry
INTO Parliament, his speeches on the
great questions of the times, Of Ireland,
Reform, America, Justice and Liberty,
and the attention his grand eloquence
and rolling periods attracted alike in
friend and foe. Burke advocated Free
dom of the Press, Catholic Emancipa-
ton, Rights of the American Colonies.
The impeachment of Warren Hastings
was the grandest oratorical achieve
ment of his life, at the close of which
he spoke for nine consecutive days, and
the dignity and grandeur of this memo
rable speech may ejudged by the con-
GLIDING sentences. [Here the speaker
delivered the concluding sentences with
telling effecl) Burke gave to the world
his greatest work, Reflections on the
Revolution of France BY this grand
masterpiece of masterpieces the great
Irish statesman made Europe his,
debtor, Kings complimented him,
honors were showered on him by the
great universities. His essay, 1.-THE
Sublime and Beautiful" stands in the
front rank of English classics. Burke
holds the same position in English
prose that SHAKESPEARE does in English
verse, He united solidity of thought to
briiliancy Of Imagination in a degree
never attained by any other writer.
This great man loved his native Ire
land, and tor thirty years his voice and
pen never ceased to demand justice for
his oppressed Catholic countrymen.
The speaker referred to Henry Grattan,
who, to his dying day, Was the tried and
trusted friend of the Irish peohle. TO
their sacred cause he chung with des-
perate fidelity, and he died in the cause
of Catholic Emancipation-the purity
Of his life was the brightness of his
glory he gave to Ireland
"ThaS one lucid interval snatched from the
gloom,
And for one sacred instant, touched ibertys
goal"
The author of the Irish melodies was
feelingly and enthusiastically discussed.
No true Irishman or woman ever al
lowed the day we celebrate to pass with
out thought Of the ''Sweet Son of
Song,' dear, good old Tom Moore.
Though many gifted mind we meet,
Though fairest forms we see,
To live with them is far lsss sweet
Than to remember thee
1t NAV occur to many of you that at
the present time when there were men
foremost iii Irish affairs who were at
tracing the attention of the world by
their words and deeds that no mention
is made of them tonight. For the very
reason that they are prominent and
that you have daily opportunity to
know Of them and are familiar with
their record and history, I have AIKEN
this opportunity and glance at the: past
and recall to your minds few Of Ire
lands prominent sons who have made
their record and who should not be for
gotten. Daniel O'Connell, whose life
on earth was dedicated to God, the
Church and his country, next claimed
the speakers attention, and a glowing
tribute was paid Ireland's own sons.
These are few of the great names
which adorn the annals Of Irish his
tory. Many others, like Emmett, Plum
kett, Father Mathew, Curran, Shiel.
Flood, Sheridan and Griffin are equally
interesting, and whose memories are
loved and revered by the Irish people,
but we must say good night.
